Captures can also be used without dynamic rules, for example in the regular expression: `("+)[^"]*\1` In these cases, a `capture="true"` attribute can be used to enable captures, but in dynamic rules the detection will be automatic. I could do a benchmark the test units with the disabled captures to check the improvement in performance, and see if these changes are worth making. I don't know if you want to include this diff. If you prefer, I can update this diff, remove the inclusion of `?:` in regex and leave only the other improvements.
